I don’t want another stroke

Agne (30), works in the financial sector in Lithuania:

«I was taken to hospital with a stroke and a hereditary pathologic blood vessel formation – arteriovenous malformation – was detected, which also served as the reason of stroke. Doctors said that, if I don’t want to suffer another stroke, only the radiosurgery methodcan save me. They told that such a procedure is available in the neighbouring country, Latvia, Sigulda, so I don’t have to travel anywhere far. Of course, I didn’t think long.

I came to a consultation on 27 April and already on 29 April the procedure was performed. It is amazing – I only had to lie down for 40 minutes and that’s all. There wasn’t any bad feeling, completely nothing. At Sigulda Hospital I experienced a professional, understanding and kind attitude; everything was clarified and explained to me. There works fantastic personnel. I went home and thought – did it really happen in reality? (laughs)»
